I got mail from them, which says that at least 98% of the computer population
world-wide use Internet Explorer 5.5, and invite me to download for myself the
browser.

Kind of mysterious for me. If Internet Explorer 5.5 is supported only by one
operating system vendor, which ship the browser with the operating system, what
is the point to get it downloadable? Way to not to keep it upgarable by
windowsupdate only is not enough for them? ;-)

the site URL is http://iaf.org.il, and not iaf.co.il. it took my a while to find
this bug because of this. please change the summary and the URL.

well, it seems like it answers www.iaf.co.il/www.iaf.org.il, bug not
iaf.co.il/iaf.org.il. very common in isreal for some reason.

my previous two comments still hold. the bug, however, is not. iaf.[co|org].il has been rewritten, and now seems to work flawlessly.
